I lived near the Snow & Neally shop in Maine. They have been making tools for many many years. Started making them for the lumber industry sometime in the 1800's. Not sure when, but a long time ago.
They have a very good reputation locally and their tools are very good quality.
I have no connection with them.
I would not hesitate to buy anything they manufacture.
